as an OU fan I am pumped!

but, I am also worried OU will not even survive Mizzou. They havent seen them all year, and Bradford will be wearing a cast on his non-throwing hand. Austin Box, MLB, is out with a sprained knee ligament, so that's not good too.

If they beat Mizzou, which again is not a given, then they'll face 2 tough Ds in Alabama or Florida. Florida is probably without their offensive weapon so that may affect the SEC game too.

If OU does win, I bet they get smoked in the NC game.

Oh and the winner of the Florida/'Bama game will automatically play for the BCS title. The SEC championship is a de facto semi-final game.

no one here is hoping for that
I'm hoping for that - two best teams in the country, and in my opinion, it's not even close.

In the grand scheme of things, I don't care ... as long as Cow High is sitting at home crying about how the mean ol' BCS screwed em.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

Only in Austin

BCS declares Motel 6 top U.S. hotel, names McCain Time's Man of the Year
Monday, December 01, 2008

The Bowl Championship Series computers have announced a new surprise upset winner for World War II.

In a close one, the victory goes to Germany because it had better lookin' helmets.

Hey, don't be stunned if the BCS geeks actually announce that reversal, then declare that the Dave Clark Five were better than the Beatles.

Despite Texas' 10-point stomping of Jokelahoma THIS SEASON up in Dallas, the BCS has ranked the Okies ahead of Texas in its rankings, 0.9351 to 0.9223 . Looks like a figure skating score, doesn't it? The difference? The Polish judge likes OU, looks like.

You know you've got a messed up football rating system when you're using fractions an OU defensive lineman couldn't figure out with a tutor from Stillwater.

Adding to the hilarity is that the Big 12 has put Mobilehoma in the league title game, since it finished ahead of Texas in the BCS ratings. What this means is that two teams Texas beat by double figures — OU and Mizzou — will be playing for the league championship.

This tells me two things: 1. Texas should drop out of the Big 12 and consider joining a more respectable organization, like the Bandidos . And 2. the Longhorns should start scheduling stronger teams than Oklahoma.

Maybe if Texas had beaten a more highly regarded team like, say, Ohio State by 10 points back in October, the BCS would have given Texas more points

You made your bed sandbaggers. Now lay down in it.

UT did it on the field of play.

OU did not. They backed into the big 12 championship game. A team they could not beat on a football field at a neutral site gets screwed.

Reminds me of Auburn getting burned in 03.

OU is the Notre Dame of non church schools. They always get the breaks. All you have is look at the DATA which many people on these boards fail to do. Head to Head competition should mean something. Evidently, according to the BCS, it does not.

There is nothing subjective about UT soundly defeating OU.

I think this debacle has caused OU to loose fans and UT to game some nationally.

Its the ANTI sport. Why play the game at all?
